FantaSci
I don't normally do after action reports for conventions. Conventions or a chance for me to spread the gospel of my awesome stories, talk to other authors, and have some fun. Usually I'm on a panel or three and I'm staying up way too late and pretending I'm an...
Hair
Yes I know, a weird topic, but let's talk about hair. My co-author Doug Burbey just shaves his head bald and no one even blinks. But if you are my age you vividly remember the drama when Sinead O'Connor shaved her head. I would love, LOVE, to have hair down to my...
Reviews
For an author reviews are this double edged sword. I love to see someone enjoys my books, it can make me squee to have someone babble how good they are. And then you get the negative review and it makes you feel like someone just shoved a knife in your back. I do not...
Podcast Interview (and vid!)
I hate being on camera. But I realize what I see--namely every scar, bit of acne, bad hair, and wrinkle--is not what other people focus on. So I'm working on getting better about doing videos. So, when I did the podcast with Blasters and Blades there is also a...
New Reads
The big news of the day - Inherited Luck is up for pre-order - Squee!!! And now I have even more stuff to do. I swear, the fact that I'm not curled up in a ball sucking my thumb some days is a miracle, and we won't talk about the horrible thing I did to myself that...
Time for Rent
Time is a weird thing. Either there is too much of it when you are watching the clock and waiting for something: work to be over, Christmas to come, vacation to start. Then there is the reverse, it vanishes when you are excited and having fun: on vacation, with...
Sunshine Means Spring?
If I go out on my deck the sun is super warm and feels wonderful. The problem is I can't spend all my time on the deck pretending to be a cat. No matter how much I'd like that. Instead I'm inside writing and trying to resist the lure of sunshine. Instead I'm...
Changes in Plans again….
So I thought I knew what I was doing with my summer, but plans change and one of the cons I look forward to the most has fallen through. LibertyCon is going virtual which means no hugs, no getting to see friends, no networking. And I am grieving again. I know I'm an...
Audio Galore
You might have missed it because me remembering to talk about what I'm doing is not my strong point. But if you did. I'm telling you now. MY LUCK IS IN AUDIO!!! Hazzah! And the reason I'm reminding you is I just got the final files for Hired Luck. Yes I'm going...
Prepping for Everything
I just finished a mammoth (okay medium sized elephant) amount of prep work for dinners this week. I decided long ago that if I could get dinners and meals prepped ahead of time it did multiple things. A- Reduced my stress level for trying to get dinner prepped. B-...
Torturing for Fun and Profit
Cori and her Trials A portal lies in front of you, beyond it a challenge. If you fail your friends die. Enter hero! Muahahah. I love twisting my characters and if you thought you knew what drove Cori Munroe before, wait until you see what this rips out of her. The...
Year in Review – wait rearview mirror.
2020 – how do I explain 2020 in words? Frustrating. Disappointing. Heartbreaking. Failure. Scary. I felt all those and more. My goals at the beginning of 2020 were (goes to check): Write 400,000 words. – boy did I fail. I didn't break 300k and had one month with zero...
